Mini Felt Soft Toys

Hello all! It’s the mini plushie post again. (Note: If you haven’t checked them out, you may want to take a look at these cutemini felt snowmenI made for last year’s Christmas!) I like mini soft toys because I’m just not confident enough to make a big one I think mini version of everything is just cute and I can bring them with me in almost everywhere. They take a little bit of patience in making one but once you get the hang of it, you won’t mind sitting down there and make a dozen of it and later give them away as a little gift (I did!) Alright, take out your sewing tools and let’s get started!

What you need |Yang anda butuhkan:

Felt |Flanel;

Cotton (Polyfil) for filling |Kapas untuk isi;

Needle & thread |Jarum & benang;

Scissors |Gunting.

Step 1: Draw the body parts on felt and cut them out (all the felt pieces above are for 1 toy). I try to use as many basic shapes as possible so it will be fairly easy for us who are clueless in making pattern everyone to follow.

Step 2: Assembling time! So, one leg is made out of 2 boot-shaped felt and a piece of ellipse for the base. Don’t forget to add filling as you sew to make it look 3D ;) The ears and hands are pretty much the same (just a little different in size). You know what to do with them. Sandwich your filling between two pieces of felt and close stitch them. Make a pair for each.

Step 7: Make the head (the steps are similar with the body). Attach the ears on the sides and give it a pair of eyes. Loop and stitch the center “head” part to both sides and add a nose in the middle. *** I admit that I got carried away while making this and forgot to take photos of the process, sorry! Let me know if you are unsure about this step!

Step 9: Join the head and body with glue or thread and give it a bow around the neck if you want (I was just trying to cover the ugly sewing on the neck here). Chain it and you are done! A simple felt soft toy :)

They are about 5 cm in height each. About the height of your average teacup!

Tinggi mereka sekitar 5 cm. Yah, kira-kira setinggi cangkir teh anda!

Heya,
I absolutely love these- they’re adorable!
Would I be okay to use this idea to make lil’ softies to sell? I’m trying to save up some money to go travelling with my friend and would love to sell some crafts X

Good morning Onel,
Looking forward to making the puppies, they are so precious! I want to make them for gifts :). Thank you so much for doing these. Would it be enough just to print out the pattern from what you have shown here, the pieces?
Thank you so much Onel for your time and consideration.

Good morning, Marie and Happy Halloween! Sorry for taking such a long time to reply you. Thinking about it, yes you actually can, but a few adjustments would be needed (size and all that) because the picture I took wasn’t a straight photo. But they are all the parts needed :)

dear one, what can I say other than I love this bear. I just had I get up and get all the stuff to make a bear. I’m all alone and i’m sitting here making this cute little bear for my to good to me husband. he really loves when I make him things. so thank you so much one for sharing and the tut. and I think you should be so proud of yourself for being able to take little pieces of a fabric and turn into something so cute. by the way I did get mine finished one he did like it.

Hi Onel,
I was wondering if it would be possible to make a template for these little cuties, maybe just draw the pieces out and scan is onto the computer?
t would be awsome if you could, if not Im sure Ill figure it out eventually:)
Thanks!

Hi there, Waloo! Glad you like them :D Unfortunately I don’t have the drawing template of them. Every piece of them is just roughly measured and cut (you can see the measurements below in the comments). Thanks for stopping by, I’m sorry that I can’t be any help! :(

Thanks a lot, Gina! Glad to see you here :) I still need lots of practice with the sewing to make more sewing projects that require advanced techniques, but your comment has made my day! Thanks you so much! :D

Oh that’s so cute. Can’t believe i didn’t see those before ! I did try to make something with felt once. All i could achieve was a flat cob keyring haha. That’s at an other level haha

OMG! Onel, these are amazing! I have a thing for everything mini – your cute felt plushies beats everything I have seen. They are terrific to do outside while enjoying the summer. Thank you so much for sharing Onel they are pinned on my mini me board!!! Have a great day!monsterscircus recently posted..Summer finds that’ll make my summer

Oh my how kind are you! Thanks so for posting this tute and I really really love it, the cuteness is off of the scale and I need to make them now! Sadly I have no felt, but that will change. I saw it on Craftgawker and hoped it would be a tutorial and, frankly: it is divine! Divine I say, how creative and kind are you. Thanking you kindly. L B. Blessings x

Aww I’m melting, these guys are adorable! You should definitely try to make a big one one of these days, but tiny ones for some reason are beyond cute. What kind of thread do you use? I want to make one! Can I use other kind of fabric?

Thanks, Elba!! Still lacking in confidence but I definitely should challenge myself to make a big (huggable) one someday :) I am just using the common sewing thread and felt. Certainly, other types of fabric should work well, including the flowery fabric you used for the pillow case. I think the plushie would turn out great with vintage feel if you like it ;)
